My new favourite lens? The Olympus/OM System 60mm f/2.8 macro lens review

I've seen the light and bought myself a macro lens for my Olympus OM-1: the OM System 60mm f/2.8 macro lens. In this video I take it to Dilston Physic Garden in the Tyne valley to put it through its paces. Do I like it? You'll need to watch the video to find out. (It won't take you long discover which way my thoughts are going though...) You can also discover why people who shoot flowers have dodgy knees; what working distance actually is; and how four step-up rings save the day.
